Legal system's checks and balances for medical malpractice

As Sir John Dalberg-Acton famously states in Macbeth, "Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely." Our country has a system of checks and balances in our government. Any person, group, or entity with absolute power and no accountability is bound to succumb to corruption and our founders understood this. In reality, our government is not the only system that requires checks and balances

The medical field is clearly a very important part of our society and well-being in this country. Doctors, nurses, and medical staff alike work hard each and every day to serve individuals in need. They have a great responsibility to ensure that people are treated with the best medical care possible at all times. But medical professionals are people, and people are not perfect and they make mistakes. It's critical that the medical community be held accountable when patients are injured as a result of medical malpractice.

In a sense, medical malpractice attorneys act as the checks and balances for the medical community. Attorneys have the great privilege of being able to help a victim who has suffered from a doctor error, surgical error, or hospital negligence.

There are a wide variety of injuries that patients may deal with as a result of the negligence of a medical professional. Many times, the injuries are extremely serious and possibly fatal. Patients may end up in a worsened medical condition than when they sought treatment. Victims of these injuries need proper legal aid to help them recover physically, emotionally and financially.
